Website Terms and Conditions

1. Using the website

These terms govern your use of www.giraffe.money. By using the website, you agree to these terms.

You must be at least 18 years old and must use the website only for lawful purposes. You must not attempt to interfere with its operation, security or availability or use it to submit false, misleading or unlawful information.

2. General information only

Content on the website is provided for general information and does not, by itself, constitute personal financial, legal or insolvency advice. A suitable solution can only be identified after your individual circumstances have been considered by an appropriately authorised or regulated adviser.

Submitting an enquiry does not guarantee that any particular debt solution is suitable, available or will be approved. Eligibility and outcomes depend on individual circumstances and, where applicable, creditor approval.

3. Referrals and fees

Enquiries and calls made through Giraffe Money will be passed to The Insolvency Guidance Group Limited or one of its appropriately regulated partners.

There is no charge for an initial review of your circumstances. Fees may apply if you choose to proceed with a debt solution. Where fees apply, the relevant provider will explain them before you proceed. Giraffe Money or the referring party may receive a fee for an introduction to a third-party provider.

4. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, the text, branding, graphics, design and other content on this website are owned by or licensed to Giraffe Money. You may view and print content for your own personal, non-commercial use. You must not reproduce, distribute or commercially exploit website content without prior written permission.

5. Website availability and accuracy

We aim to keep the website available and its content accurate, but we do not guarantee that it will always be uninterrupted, error-free, complete or up to date. We may update, suspend or withdraw any part of the website without notice.

6. Limitation of liability

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so. Subject to that, we are not responsible for loss or damage arising solely from reliance on general website content, inability to access the website, or use of a third-party website linked from it.

7. Third-party services and links

We are not responsible for the content, availability or practices of third-party websites or service providers. Any separate service you enter into with a regulated provider will be governed by that provider's own terms.

8. Changes to these terms

We may amend these terms periodically. The current version will be published on this page. Continued use of the website after an update means that the updated terms apply to your subsequent use.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales will have jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory rights you may have as a consumer elsewhere in the United Kingdom.
